.NET 2.0 Interoperability Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (Expert's Voice in .NET) 1st ed. Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
.NET represents a new and improved way of developing software for the Windows platform. Given the chance, you'd probably rewrite all of your existing code in the newer managed code environment that .NET provides. But it is difficult or impossible to throw out all existing legacy code and start over when a new technology arrives. Instead, you need to find a way to move forward with new .NET development while reusing existing pieces of tested, working code. You need a way to interoperate with the existing code until you have a chance to finally rewrite all of it in .NET.
The only recipe-style book on the subject, .NET 2.0 Interoperability Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach guides Windows developers who are transitioning from native Windows code to .NET managed code.
.NET tools will allow you to interoperate with existing code. But finding the appropriate tool for the task at hand can sometimes be a frustrating experience. So this book will guide you past myriad infrequently used interop options to focus on those youll use most often.

About the author

I have been a working developer for over 25 years. During this time, I have designed and developed applications in such widely varying areas as banking, corporate finance, credit card processing, payroll processing, and retail systems.
I have first-hand developer experience with a variety of languages including C, C++, Delphi, Java, VB, and C#. My design and development experience includes everything from mainframe and client/server to widely distributed n-tier and SOA applications. Most recently, I have been immersed in the .NET 3.0 technology stack, leveraging Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and of course, Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) to help build a new generation of applications.
I consider myself a pragmatic programmer and test-driven development evangelist. I don't stand on formality and don't do things in a particular way just because they have always been done that way. I'm willing to look at alternate or unorthodox solutions to a problem if that's what it takes.
I am currently employed at Radiant Systems, Inc., in Alpharetta, Georgia, as a lead developer and architect in the central technology group.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2007This is a book about solving specific problems in mixing .Net and non-.Net code. The author clearly defines the problem being solved, and then provides a useful and well illustrated solution. Normally I use MDSN and the Visual Studio help to answer questions, but neither of those is as useful in looking at Interoperability problems.
The book paid for itself quickly, by saving me time in understanding how to marshal structures over TCP between .Net and non-.Net code. I wish all technical books were as well done as this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014Thank you!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2009Yes, from what Ive read in this book it is indeed excellent.
Why 'from what I've read?' Because the book, as it states, is in the form of recipes and I used this book to get specific info.
Reading the book from cover to cover wasn't necessary.
Simply target a recipe for your problem, and go. Sometimes I also had to read other recipes since some are related to get the big picture. This worked really well for me.
The information is accurate and concise. The example code (downloadable) is in VB and C#
Well worth the money.
